Tullibardine information and historyThis district, lying 6 m. south east of Crieff, gives its name to the heirs of the dukes of Atholl, as mentioned in Blair Atholl.
The Collegiate Church, one of the very few of its kind in Scotland still unaltered was founded in 1445 by Sir David Murray. His arms and those of his wife, Dame Isabel Stewart, are on the west wall inside
the building. The
church is cruciform, with a small western tower entered from the church by a narrow doorway. Both internally and externally the entrances have notable moulded detail, and the
gable-ends have typical
Scots crow-stepping. |
William Murray of Tullibardine, the son and successor of the founder, enlarged the original
foundation, and his arms and those of his wife are preserved on the exterior. At the Reformation, the
provosty was suppressed and the building used as a burial vault. Lindsay of Pitscottie records that James IV was fond of ship building and in 1511 built The Michael & the largest ship ever seen
before. She was 240 ft long, 36 ft within the sides, which were 10 ft thick. She was a year in building and took up all the oak woods of Fife except falkland. She had 300 mariners and
carried in all about 1,000 men. Her length and breadth is planted in hawthorn at Tullibardine by the wright that helped
to make her & By the middle of the 19th cent., only three of the original hawthorn trees survived.
